Yesterday SENTINEL man dropped into
the bargain house of Messrs. W. L. Frank
lin 4 Co., to take peep at the large stock
Of goods that is beginning to arrive. While
there he asked the question:
"How do you find newspaper advertising
docs it pay!
"Yes, indeed" said Mr.. Franklin, "the
other day man from Graham came up to
ne in Raleigh, handed me slip he had
cut from THE SENTINEL and gava me an
order of considerable size. 1t pays me well"
continued Mr.. Franklin, sometimes people
drop in three or four times day and say L
saw in THE SENTINEL you were selling SO
and 80 at such a price. / owe good deal
Of my success to newspaper advertising"
Reader, the above is from one of the
most progressive merchants of Winston.
There is not \ more liberal advertiser in
the town There is not house that under
sells him and there is no merchant in the
town who has achieved success any sooner
than he. He is thoroughly progressive
business man md has just opened up q
branch house in Greensboro under the firm
name of c. s. Watson & Co. His success is
in large part due to newspaper advert Using
"Go tn on and do likewise"
The moral of all this is: If you want to
reach the people, advertise in The SENTI-
MEL.

many Of whom watched it'll eagerness and
delight after tAe contest was narrowed down
between Mr.. Will <. Coley, an attaches of
this, Office and Mr.. Will Graham The
former gentleman came off victorious and
now sports the handsome gold badge, which
was the prize awarded. The badge was pre-

pirate address. The company was under
the command Of Capt. w. T. Gray, while
the judges were Messrs. Sampson and Cald-

An Able Discourse.

An Able Discourse.
Rev. J. L. White, the brilliant young
pastor of the First Baptist Church of Raj
eigh and Rev. Joseph White, of Black Sta
tion, 8. c., spent several days in our fair
cities the PAST week, visiting their aged
father, Mr.. Jacob White, who is in feeble
health. The two divines occupied the pull
pit OF the Baptist Church acceptably on
Sunday 1.-The latter in the morning and the
former at night. The former pastor, Rev.
J. L., is young divine of great promise,
possessed with fine oratorical powers.
Our reporter was present on Sunday night
and heard him deliver what might be up.
propriately termed "model sermon The
seating capacity Of the church was not sufi-
cient to accommodate the many who de-
sired to hear him. He chose for his text
the following words: "If ye love me, keep
my Commandments The theme of the
sermon was Love" and at the close of his
remarks, every attentive listener was ready
to testify to the Young divine's effort as be
ing able, convincing and edifying, and thai
he was in every way competent for the worl
assigned him.

And every twig suggests separate feeling

And love from out a rosebud may be steal

A Very Strange Case.


A very remarkable case is told of
Greensboro gentleman, but on account of its
source-Brother Michaux, of the Workman,
we have no reason to doubt its truthful
ness. The particulars of the case are given
as follows: "Mr. Ed. NJ. Hendrix, of the
firm of Hendrix Bros, grocers of Green's
boro, was taken i'll some two weeks ago and
was bereft Of both speech and hearing. In
this condition he continued about one week.
One light he went to bed at 9f o'clock and
slept until about 10, at which time the
north bound train on the Piedmont railroad,
which runs near the dwelling, came roaring
by. The sound and jar Of the train awoke
him, and when he was reused up both
speech and hearing were restored. In a
short while he was able to come up into
town, where he shook hands with large
number of his friends. Isn't it strange
case2

Quite Right, Brother.

Brother Lowery, in the last issue Of the
Mt Airy Nevs, gets off some truthful and
sensible remarks in the following: eff
Winston had as many railroads as Green's
boro, she would to-day be the largest city in
North Carolina. Look what he has done
of enterprising, pushing men to build up
such thriving town as Winston with no
better railroad facilities. Mt. Airy is stu
ated Just like Winston and she is bound to
grew rapidly if her citizens pull together.
We must have harmony and push if we ever
do anything. We are at point that is
considered critical by many good judges. -
the turning point. If we are to have large
town we have to spread ourselves and work
to that end by offering inducements to cap
italists to locate here"

Caught at Last.
Some four weeks ago, Mr.. J. Fl. Hauser,
Of Davie county, was in the city in search
of negro named John Dull who had stolen
money from him to the amount of $26. Mr..
81. gave our reporter the particulars at the
time he first came to Winston, but requested
US not to make mention of it until after Dull
was caught-having learned that he was in
Winston. Mr.. Hauser remained in Wins
ton several days without finding Dull. He
then returned home, leaving his description,
papers, ETC., with the Sheriff for his arrest
and it was not until Thursday last that Dull
was captured. Last summer when Dull
quit Mr.. Hausers EN- ployme he was not
suspected until, upon inquiry, Mr.. II. found
that he had been spending gold money, the
kind Mr.. Fl. lost. Dull is now in Jail.
